- This 100,000-word monograph, awarded the 2016 British Association for American Studies Book Prize, is based on ten years archival research in New Mexico, New York, and Washington, D.C., and a fellowship at Southern Methodist University, Texas. The first book-length study to chart the neglected role of Hispanx artists in shaping modernism in New Mexico, it positions Hispanx artists as pioneers of modernism while offering new perspectives on the relationship between aesthetic experimentation, intercultural exchange and modernity’s forces. Working across a range of media, the book provides the basis for examining a longer tradition of critical transformations in Hispanx art.
